Random TV thoughts
We were watching the season finale of Almost Human (have I mentioned it's awesome?) the other night and saw a commercial for The Following. There was a close-up of an actor who looks just like Aaron Ashmore, who plays Steve Jinks on Warehouse 13. I know the upcoming season of WH13 will be the last (fucking SciFi never letting their shows go past five seasons! *grumbles*), but I was so sad that Jinks might already be gone.
I jumped right on my handy IMDb app to check, but didn't see any mention of The Following on Aaron Ashmore's page. I then checked Dominic Monaghan's page, because I have noticed a strong resemblance in the past, though it's less noticeable now. And it wasn't him either. When I finally checked the Following's page, I found that the actor is actually Aaron Ashmore's identical twin, Shawn! So, that made me smile. They're both adorable, so two of them can only be a good thing :) (Though I'm not actually planning to watch the Following, which seems too scary for me.)
In other TV-related news, I'm absolutely loving Cosmos. I've never seen the original, though now we want to. But I just love how they're presenting science. It's not only visually stunning, but they've made it a story, even including some characters. The characters aren't ongoing, of course, but the story is. Really, there's no better way they could hook someone like me. The music is wonderful too. Seth McFarlane (of whom I'm generally not a huge fan) said something like they wanted to make the show into a feast for the senses, and wow, did they ever! I've never liked him more than watching his interview about the Cosmos with Jon Stewart. And of course, I adore Neil deGrasse Tyson - whom I already adored a great deal! - more with every episode. I got a little teary when he talked about Carl Sagan driving teenage!him to the bus station in a snowstorm and giving Neil his home number just in case...
I'm sad as we approach the last episode of How I Met Your Mother. I know it's time, but I'm going to miss them all so much! But more thoughts on that after the finale.
On a completely different note, we continue to adore Archer. It's just so ridiculous, over-the-top and fun!
